Most homeowners tend to fret over the idea that their floors will need to come apart during repairs. However, most repair works are done without touching your floor.
If your underfloor heating has a fault beneath your floors, the root of the problem will be accurately located via our thermal imaging equipment. Whenever it comes to repairing parts which are located under your floors, you shouldn't fret, because the flooring won't be torn up as you might think. Most underfloor heating comes up with similar issues, namely air locked pipes, actuator issues, faulty or wrong wirings, and several cold spots. Sometimes, there may be issues with the configuration on your thermostat, or other timing or programming equipment you have in place. It is advised that you power up your heating system during warm seasons like summer, where you don't really have the need for your underfloor heating, as a precautionary measure. Being idle for so long may cause certain issues to occur. It is also important to understand issues that may occur in the type of underfloor heating you have installed.
Electric underfloor heating goes below your floors. It comes with electric cables and electric mats. The cables always come installed on an insulation board to utilise energy efficiently. These systems are controlled by a thermostat. When fitted properly, problems and faults don't occur for years with electric underfloor heating. When they do develop issues, however, this may be down to various factors. A common issue is an incorrect setting in the thermostat or a faulty thermostat.
A configuration issue can be solved by inputting the correct settings from the manual. But a faulty thermostat will require the help of a repairman. The heating cable could be damaged or cut during installation, in which case our technicians will simply fix the issue with a heat shrink or by using straight-through crimps when they identify the issue. The floor sensor probe could be faulty as a result of poor installation. A technician can simply work to repair it, but if it is too far gone, it will be replaced. Our technicians can get your electric underfloor heating functioning again if any of these issues, or others, come up.
Hydronic underfloor heating, as it is more technically known, involves the use of pipes laid beneath your floor. Your home is heated by the warm water circulated through these pipes. A central boiler is responsible for getting the water warm, whilst a thermostat regulates the heat. Your building's floor type will be a factor in the way your area is heated by hydronic underfloor heating. Their issues can also be fixed by our technicians without any fuss.
Issues that are commonly present in hydronic underfloor heating include faulty actuators; wrong thermostat configurations or faulty thermostats; loss of pressure on the system; pipes that are punctured, which can be repaired or fixed by our technicians; or airlocks in pipes. Other complex issues may arise, but rest assured that our technicians can solve any issue concerning water underfloor heating. Repairing a faulty component beneath your floor doesn't necessarily entail tearing it up to bring out the entire system. We will simply work to get it fixed at the precise location of the problem.
